tauzero Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Presumably he's got a shopful of the sodding things and he's trying to make it look like a bargain when he puts a $100 price tag on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Is this thread still allowed given Basschat's stance on sales of Rickenbacker basses and their copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The thread's OK, it's the selling that's off limits. Offerings on other sites are equally forbidden, I think. What say the mods..? Is a reminder appropriate..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 But it could be argued that it's enabling selling, hence the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Just spotted a 'faker. No pictures, but putting the words 'Rickenbacker' and 'copy' in the title of the listing may have been a mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Might be more appropriate to relocate this thread out of the Marketplace and perhaps sticky it in the Bass Guitars section purely for reference. Question for personal clarification - can we still post pics of owned instruments that are not for sale? Not sure about the breadth of JH's litigious hissy-fit! Jon.

Annoying Twit Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've been referring to my Cimar bass, which looks vaguely like the bass of a well known USA manufacturer. Do I need to be so circumspect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I wouldn't know about its original purpose, but this thread is for showing off, discussing, praising or criticising Rickenfakers (and real Rics, if you're so minded...). No selling, trading, buying, wanting or in any way promoting or favouring such is permitted. Being in the 'Marketplace' section has become an anomaly, which could, perhaps be addressed, but, in any case, any hint of trading Rics or fake Rics will be deleted. This was widely discussed a while back, and it was decided, following threats from outside of legal action, to ban all commercial posts concerning Rics. This was to protect the forum. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
